Don't understand the hype...
After a terrible experience with a different pair of lululemon pants, I exchanged them with high hopes for these. I sweat a lot when I workout and take a lot of spin classes so there is a lot of sweat in the crotch region. The first pair of pants I got were bright purple and you could see all the sweat; it looked like I peed myself! I had high hopes for the second pair of pants once I exchanged them, and I was told these would be better for high impact activities. Once again all of the sweat showed after spin class. On top of that, there are a lot of seams in general in these pants, which made being on the bike uncomfortable. I'm going to stick to my Nike dri-fit pants, but am disappointed in the quality of lulu pants.

Hole Two Months In
I did enjoy this item for the first two months, but I just found a hole in the back and some of the stitching is coming undone. I'm super bummed - especially after shelling out a good amount of $$ for quality pants.

Awesome
I love these crops. They were my first purchase and oh boy did I get it right. I now have 2 pairs in black and they hold up well. When you have thicker legs some options are simply not available. About these specifically, they are flattering and feel ahmazing. I go hiking in them as well as sessions with my trainer and Crossfit. I get down and dirty in them is my point. I'm a 10 now but was a 12 and frankly, I find them to be quite flattering.

Better the 2nd time around
I love the fit of these crops. It holds you in all the right places! However, after 3 months, the seams around the crotch started unraveling. Thank goodness for Lulu's awesome quality policy and my local store gladly switched them out for me. I've had my new pair for 2 weeks and so far they are holding up. For reference, I bought a size 2. I'm 5'3" 100lbs and they fit like a glove! Please make more colors!!!

Ugh mesh!
I might be one of very few people that does not like the mesh, but it is not conducive for some activities! I love the original material that did not include the mesh inner leg lining so thought I would like these even more!
The mesh is not flattering for girls with thick legs, and additionally it irritates my skin when cycling or running. I thought it would go away if I got used to wearing them a few times, but it has not.
I do love the stretch that the overall material creates, and I don't have any concerns that the crops will slip down or that the waist will roll down when I am working out. If Lulu ever brings back the original Inspire Crop with no mesh, I will be the first in line to grab them!

Excellent
I have a little over 4 pairs of Lululemon corps. I run 5 days a week so I wear them 2xs a week and wash them right after my run. I've read comments about these ripping and losing their fit, however mine have latest well over 4 years. They are expensive but well worth it.
I've ran with Nike Fit and Reebok, nothing beats Lululemon, Under Armour, and Asics *running* gear.

Love, hate relationship
I bought these last fall and immediately fell in love. I still love the fit and the mesh panels (even though I wear them 1-2 times a week) and how lightweight they are. However, I am not a fan of how sheer they are. I can totally forget about bending over and/or squatting. They're completely sheer not just on my backside but my knees as well. I do a lot of agility training, and I have to be conscious of this fact while I'm working out. Running, they're great, although I sweat a lot and can sometimes see sweat stains which dry relatively quick though thanks to the quick dry fabric. They are also starting to pill, and the seams are showing signs of wear and tear even though I have had them less than a year. Love these, I just wish I could do squats and lunges without flashing everyone.

Couldn't live without them!
I absolutely adore my Inspires. I wore my first pair to death, running, gym, outdoors etc and got a second pair because the thought of being without them was too much to bear.
They are flattering with a perfect rise, a perfect thickness, incredibly functional for running, with the backpocket that fits my iPhone 6 and the meshy bits behind the knees. Would recommend a hundred times over.

Sweat Marks
I wore the purple ones for the first time today for a long run, and I had the worst sweat marks ever by the end of my workout (entire crotch and butt area completely soaked). I was absolutely mortified!!!
I have never sweat so badly before in running pants.
These crops are really cute; however, I wish I had read some of the previous reviews warning of this issue with the purple ones before buying them. Hoping I can return them back to the store.
